I am a 54 y/o woman , in September I made a poor choice and jumped off a landing at a charity thingy . in my mind I said that s going to hurt later ..a week later I awoke and couldn t move my arms or legs I made an appt. with my doc ( took two weeks to see her ) and she had me sent to xray my chest , vascular testing, circulation testing , 2 weeks of blood testing , blood/fecal/urine , ears nose and throat guy , orthopedic doc who did xrays and ordered an mri ,my knees are beautifully healthy he says , though he never looked at my swollen fat painful knees in person . and next is a neurologist , so far everything looks fine . I am in agony daily , nights are worst, I keep pointing out that it is the bone between my shoulder blades that is pushed out I can feel the thing, a wrinkle in a shirt/sheet produces tremendous pain and no one has addressed this issue at all . however I had Lyme 5 years ago and am wondering if this is what is causing all these nerve issues ..neuropathy I think it was called ,,let me tell you what I am experiencing ,, tingling . numbness. heat/cold in the joints/muscles , spasms that feel like my veins are wiggling when I stretch my legs , pulses in my knees to feet area and shoulder to finger tips which are also very painful, like little knives cutting me , also my neck cracks which freaks me out , my toes turn blue ( yesterday I broke one so it is black/blue PAIN ) it has been six months and I walk like an 80 y/o, my calf muscles feel locked up and painful so walking to get my grandsons from school every day ( an hour ) has me literally in tears as my legs feel like they weigh 100 lbs each . my shoulders/arms are still locked up but have let go 3/4 of the way I can now move them halfway up and away from my body by slowly adding stretches and exercise every day . could this be neuropathy without diabetes , or the dreaded Lyme ? and what doctor should I actually go see to find out exactly what is going on here ? please and thank you
